"The ship of AGW doom would not be turned around.There was too much money to be made."
Yes, but the ship is sinking. If we can avoid a legally binding treaty and follow Canada's lead and get rid of the Labor Govt and the Carbon Tax we might escape having to pay too much. Its interesting to note that the head of the CSIRO Megan Clark is a former Rothschild Bank Director and owns her own carbon sequestration company,Cradle Mountain Carbon Pty Ltd. The company owns land which they intend to use as part of the carbon credits system yet she denies any conflict of interest. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/csiro-denies-its-head-megan-clark-has-any-conflict-of-interest-over-carbon-store-role/story-fn59niix-1226170818106 Where's the 'investigative' ABC now?

Sorry, Bonmot, this article is much more recent:
http://www.ajol.info/index.php/ejesm/article/viewFile/71627/60589 On page 15: "Because of the ongoing collision of the Burmese plate overriding the eastern margin of the Indian continent and its adjacent oceanic crust, the Bengal Basin has been subsiding since the Eocene (Alam, 2003)." Bangladesh is in a zone of tectonic complexity - there could even be some regional uplift going on as a result of the retreat of the glacial sheets after the Ice Age. So the lesson is that one should be circumspect and careful making statements about sea-level rise - there are many other factors involved, many of them anthropogenic.

Thanks Joe, seems like Bangladesh is going to cop it from all directions :(
